When do lawyers say "May It Please The Court" ?

Question

During an opening statement, as i understand it, that is one of the first phrases used. How does one use that phrase though. Is it like a , "may it please the court to introduce myself" or a " May it please the court. My name is...."

I'm just a tad bit confused. Also, is it the very first thing you say, or do u introduce yourself first? if i could get an indepth answer from someone in the legal field that would be awesome :-)

Answer 1

You say it to show deference to the court. It is not only said during an opening statement. It is often also said when an attorney begins oral arguments, or is asking the court to take some sort of action, or answering a judge's question. It's almost like saying, please and thank you. You don't say it in every sentence, but quite often when addressing the court.

I have never heard anything good about these class action suits. As far as I can see they make tons of money for the lawyers with incredibly small payouts to the litigants. I have seen the results of a couple of these and they were like $35 to each person - and that after filling out lots of papers and waiting years. The lawyers fees were in the millions.

"May it please the court" is a statement said during an opening of a statement or when you would like to ask the court for permission to do something, or you would like the court to do something.

Normally it is done (in UK and Commonwealth courts) at the beginning of the statement as a way of showing respect to the court, the representative institution of justice. The way to use it in this case is "May it please the court, my name is Marianne Taylor and I appear for the defendant."

As stated above, you also use "may it please the court" if you'd like to do something, like admit evidence to the bench. For example, you can say "May it please the court to admit this book as evidence" or "May it please the court, the prosecution would like to admit this book as evidence".

Also, you may say "May it please the court to strike out the testimony of the witness as ....", asking the court to take some action.
